What should a Slovenian rental contract and deposit include in 2026?

List landlord and adult tenants, a description of the flat (furnished or not), monthly najemnina, which utilities and building operating costs you pay, the deposit, start and end dates or notice rules, and repair duties. Subletting and long guest stays often need written owner consent under common Housing Act practice summarised in newcomer guides.

Ask for notarial certification when the landlord’s process requires it, and keep your own signed copy. Use the lease for temporary residence registration: Register address. Hunt process: How to rent a home.

Expect one to three months’ rent as varščina, paid with a receipt to your Slovenian account trail when possible: Open a bank account. Create your own photo inventory at handover even if the landlord skips a formal checklist. Furnished flats need an item list: Furnished rentals. Know basic tenant protections: Tenant rights. Spot pressure to wire deposits abroad: Avoid rental scams.
